What are the steps involved in a buffer overflow exploit?
What will be an ideal response?
First the hacker searches for a chance to overflow the buffer. Next the hacker determines the memory assigned to the variable. Finally, the hacker specifies a value greater than the maximum capacity of the variable and either the stack becomes corrupted, causing the computer to crash, or the instruction pointer directs the program to the memory space that is specified by the hacker.
